Communications

Outdated Communications?

The ways we communicate seem to be growing exponentially. The analog telephone was good for over 100 years. Then the personal computer with Email became ubiquitous. After 10 years or so Email is already being superseded by Instant Messaging, PC Video Conferencing and free Telephony (Skype and other VOIP applications). It's a tough choice, embrace the new or keep the old tried and true methods. Not to worry, we're here to help.

Web Design

Is your website looking old?

Here are some things you should consider before deciding on a website design. Is the site for commercial or informational purposes? Who is my audience, always keep this in mind. Should the website be flash-y interactive with dynamic content or subdued and businesslike. Do I need to track my visitors, always a good idea and it's usually free.

Client Reviews

Our satisfied customers speak

Eric Fucci of Fucci & Friedman Inc; "We came in Monday morning and had no access to the internet. We called Ethernetworks and Len was here within the hour. Turned out there was a problem with the router. He reconfigured and secured the router and we were back up and selling insurance by lunchtime! It's important we have someone to call when there's an emergency. Good job!" Read more reviews.

Google Chrome Shines

I took my first look at Googles new browser today. Chrome uses a minimalist approach, combining features where possible. One example of this is the address bar which doubles as the search box. Chromes opens to a page of visual links to your most visited sites, a nice feature.
